LADIES GUILD
Shrine Ladies Guild was established in 1963 under the direction of Father Charles Coughlin. The objective of this organization is to encourage the involvement of all women in the parish in a variety of religious, cultural, civic and social activities. They serve refreshments at farewell receptions, and various other special occasions requested by the Pastor, including Liturgies and mission services.
The Ladies Guild is active in the Detroit Council of Catholic Women presently providing several board members and area officers. Six members have been awarded the Catholic Woman of the Year Award from the Council and one member has been awarded the Heart of Gold from the United Foundation. A branch of the Ladies Guild, called the Mission Ladies, meets every other Tuesday to make quilts and lap robes, which are distributed to area nursing homes, V.A. hospitals and the homebound. Open to all women of the parish, the Ladies Guild welcomes new members and invites them to join in active service.
